I Created the Myth of the Old Ruler

On New Year's Day, just as the weather forecast said, the snow would get heavier.

Lu Tan got up from the sofa and opened the curtains. He could see that the thick snow had even covered the roads and flower beds. It was so thick that many trees were bent and broken. Looking further away, the entire The world fell into a state of whiteness.

There was no heating in Jiangcheng, and the living room only had air conditioning. It was already a bit cold. Lu Jian glanced at the outdoor air conditioner outside the window. It was covered with a thick layer of snow, and he opened the window.

call--

The cold wind immediately poured into the house. Lu Tiao heard a wailing sound coming from the bedroom. He ignored it and patted the outdoor unit of the air conditioner, causing the snow to fall away.

After closing the window, Lu Tan felt a little warmer.

I don’t know how long this wind and snow will last, and it seems to be even heavier than last night.

For the first time, people expected weather forecasts to be as wrong as they had been in the past. .

Turning on the TV, Lu Tian switched to the news channel.

Reporters who were out reporting in the wind and snow could see that further north, the wind and snow had even hindered transportation and power equipment. Some villages in remote mountainous areas had lost power and heating and were waiting for rescue.

"...The power supply department is making emergency repairs and is making every effort to ensure the people's daily use of electricity and heating..."

Listening to the reporter's words, Lu Tian even wondered if this was the fault of some chosen one from another land.

Such an abnormal climate is probably only possible for those indescribable evil gods to create.

"Feng Yu can't be contacted either. I don't know if her problem is serious."

Lu Tan still believed in Feng Yu.

"You got up so early. Don't you have any intention of sleeping in?"

Qin Tiantian's voice came from behind, and she was still wrapped in Lu Tiao's quilt.

There was a heavy snowstorm last night, so Qin Tiantian stayed overnight at Lu Jian's house. Within three minutes of lying on Lu Jian's bed, he hugged Laika and began to snore, with a bunch of hair around him.

Lu Tan lay on his sofa for a while last night. At this point, sleeping has become a pleasure rather than a necessity. Being able to soak up the sun is enough to replenish his energy.

"You can go back to sleep."

Lu Tan said something and looked at his WeChat. There were a lot of messages, and the company group was already buzzing with discussions about the new movie.

He reassured everyone in the group, and the most important thing was to say that wages, bonuses and holidays would remain the same as before, and everyone responded with "Boss Yingwu" on their screens.

There were also inquiries from other people he knew, and he responded one by one, recommending everyone to watch it in front of the TV or computer tonight.

After searching, there are still people who want to organize offline viewing, but it is estimated that most theaters will not accept them. In this snowy day, it is estimated that only rich people will entertain friends in their large living rooms.

Lu Tian also saw some people saying that they didn't have to visit relatives because of the heavy snow, so they had a quiet New Year.

In the face of disaster, many people have many faces.

"I'm not going to sleep anymore. I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?"

Qin Tiantian ran to the kitchen and rummaged through the refrigerator. Unfortunately, except for yesterday's leftovers, there was nothing in the refrigerator that could be eaten directly. Lu Tan didn't usually eat snacks and had no reserves.

"Heat the Weibo stove and eat."

She picked up a plate of food, wrapped it in plastic wrap and threw it in the microwave. She picked up her phone while waiting for the food to be hot.

"...WTF???"

Qin Tiantian ran to the living room.

"Is the snow disaster so serious?"

She shook the phone in her hand, which showed some news about ice and snow disasters.

"yes."

Lu Tiao nodded.

"Then why are you going to the premiere today?"

Qin Tiantian asked again.

"?"

Lu Tiao was stunned for a moment.

"There's no premiere today."

"Oh, it turns out there is no more. That's good. Let's have hot pot at home. I remember buying some hot pot ingredients before. I really want to eat spicy hot pot."

Qin Tiantian wandered back to the kitchen.

When the microwave dinged, she took out the hot dish and took two bites before realizing it.

"What the hell???"

She came to the living room.

"There's no premiere today?"

"Let's have hot pot."

Lu Tan finished replying to the WeChat message and raised his head.

...

night.

In a small village in the north.

Township teacher Yang Yiwu is worried.

He was in a small town, located on the edge of a vast forest. There were only fifteen students in this junior high school.

This Spring Festival, he did not go home because the parents of five students failed to come back in time due to wind, snow and other reasons. Therefore, these children had to stay in the school and were looked after by Yang Yiwu.

Since they usually stay in boarding houses, these children are quite well-behaved. They get up early during the day, study and do exercises, help cook together at noon, take a lunch break, play in the afternoon, and watch movies on the computer with Yang Yiwu in the evening.

Yang Yiwu himself comes from a small town in the south. He grew up running barefoot in the fields when he was a child. He knows very well that knowledge changes destiny. Therefore, after graduating from the normal school, he came here to work as a rural teacher, hoping to change the destiny of some children.

Although it is now very open and most parents are willing to educate their children, unfortunately, education in remote and backward areas is still not developed enough. Many children always want to work early to make money for their families, but the education level is still not enough.

Originally, this was just an ordinary New Year. On New Year’s Eve, Yang Yiwu had a video call with his parents at home.

But early the next morning, he discovered something was wrong.

The heavy snow here has already covered the roads and traffic has been cut off. Fortunately, there is still food in the refrigerator.

But it may be that the university caused a line failure. In the morning, Yang Yiwu discovered that there was a power outage.

Along with the power outage came a heating failure.

In the north, power outages are not so scary, but the lack of heating is the real problem.

It's now more than 20 degrees below zero outside, and there's no heating. These children and Yang Yiwu will freeze into ice slag in minutes.

Fortunately, the communication is pretty good.

Yang Yiwu immediately called to inquire about the situation and learned that it was caused by a heavy snowstorm. The power supply and heating personnel were working on repairs and would send people over for maintenance. He felt relieved a little.

However, traffic problems caused the repair work to proceed slowly. Even after dinner, no one could come over.

In order to save power, Yang Yiwu only communicated through WeChat. With the howling wind and snow outside, the temperature of the water in the heating system had cooled down after a day of wear and tear, and the surroundings became extremely cold.

He gathered the students into his room, lit a charcoal brazier, asked them to wrap themselves in quilts and sit together.

Taking out his laptop, Yang Yiwu wanted to play something to divert everyone's attention.

He saw a group of classmates discussing a movie. It seemed to be a particularly powerful blockbuster. It was supposed to be shown in the cinema, but because of the heavy snow, it was now shown for free. If you don't watch it, you would be losing money.

Thinking of letting these students see the world, Yang Yiwu clicked on the video website.

"'Doomsday'... seems unlucky."

Yang Yiwu hesitated whether to play it, but seeing that the students were looking forward to it, he clicked play.
